Ji Yan rolled her eyes at him. At this time, what was she worried about? Was he sick? No matter who he was, she was his wife. How could it change?
Seeing that she rolled her eyes in disapproval, Shang Jinshen suddenly understood a lot. This kind of woman wouldn’t use any means to marry into the family or scheme just to become Young Mrs. Shang. She was not that kind of woman at all.
For a moment, Shang Jinshen didn’t know whether it was because he regretted it or because of something else. He felt that the way he treated her in the past seemed to be too cruel.
He treated her so badly and yet she came to comfort him when she thought he was down about losing his position. She was foolishly kind.
But why was his heart suddenly beating so fast? It seemed that he would be in a good mood when he looked at her beautiful little face. Not only that but the troubles caused by Shang Yu An also dissipated because of her arrival.
“Do you think Shang Yu An can take anything from me?” Whether it be the position of president or you, Shang Yu An has no ability to get involved.” Shang Jinshen’s words were extremely arrogant, but Ji Yan was shocked.
What? Did she mean that she misunderstood him? Did she think that she was comforting him when he was not even unhappy?
Her face turned red with anger. “Did you do it on purpose?”
He found it funny and teased her. “Do what?”
He had deliberately misled her and made her think that…
Ji Yan felt wronged and pursed her lips. Was she really stupid? Even if something happened to Shang Jinshen, she didn’t need to comfort him at all.
Thinking of his indifferent words before, Ji Yan completely began to despise herself. She really never learned…
Shang Jinshen looked at the ever-changing emotions on her face and recalled what had happened. This woman seemed to be affected by his words. He put down his glass and felt a desire to see the true emotions in her eyes.
Ji Yan was a little flustered by his black eyes, so she was in no mood to complain. She raised her head and put on a defensive look. “What are you looking at?”
He raised his eyebrows. “Can’t I?”
Did she have a choice? This man can’t be disobeyed at all. “Gosh, I have nothing to lose anyway!”Jin Yan grumbled internally. So she simply ignored him to pour herself a glass of wine and took a sip.
She couldn’t always be the one that gets teased. So, she had to turn the tables.
The taste of alcohol made her smack her lips. Alcohol was not something to mess around with. It could confuse one’s mind, but at the same time, it could make people forget about their worries and pain.
She took one sip after another. She ignored the exquisite dishes on the table as if she was downhearted. She kept her focus on the wine in the glass.
“Is it good?” He suddenly asked. Looking at her flushed face, he suddenly remembered the way this woman turned into a little wild cat when she was drunk last time. He missed that person so much.
She wrinkled her nose and shook her head. “Not really.”
She spun the glass while she shook her head, and said, “I really don’t understand why so many people are addicted to drinking.”
Ji Yan suddenly leaned in closer to him and said with a smile, “Do you know that an ancient poet got drunk, and wanted to fish the moon out of the water and died.”
What was this? A cold joke? He looked at her without any change in his expression. Obviously, the little wild cat was already a little drunk. She was not a great drinker after all.
“Hehehe, what a beautiful way to die. If it were me, I might also sacrifice my life for a moment of happiness. Very stupid of me, huh?” She pulled herself back and leaned on the table, raising her glass to the skylight.
No one knew what she was looking at, but her beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter.
A moment of happiness? Shang Jinshen was lost in his thoughts because of her drunken words. What was it to her? What was considered the beauty in her eyes?
All of a sudden, Shang Jinshen was really clueless about what Ji Yan wanted.
If they said that she married into the Shang family for fame and wealth, he wouldn’t believe it now. Otherwise, did she marry into the Shang family willingly? Why would she? She was treated badly but she always still had a smile on her face. She had tears and pain in her eyes, but what he saw more was her tenacity. What was making her hold on like that?
“What is beauty?” He had the urge to talk to the little drunk cat.
She looked up at him with her hazy eyes and tilted her head. Beauty? After thinking for a long time, she said, “It’s beautiful when the people you care about are safe and sound.”
“Who do you care about?” If she dared to say that it was Shang Yu An, her first boyfriend, he would strangle her to death. No, any man’s name would be the wrong answer.
Who did she care about? Thinking of the gentle hands in her memory, she smiled sweetly. “Mom.”
Mom? Her stepmother? Of course, Shang Jinshen would never believe she was talking about that superficial woman. It seemed like his wife had other secrets that he didn’t know of.
“Aren’t you tired?” He didn’t expect her to suddenly stand up and ask. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and didn’t wait for him to answer. She said, “You put on airs every day and wear a mask that’s not even you. You have never really smiled before. Aren’t you tired?”
Not waiting for an answer, she said, “You’re so cold, but sometimes you’re so warm that I want to cry. Tell me, are you a demon or an angel?”
She suddenly pouted and sighed again. “You are a bad guy. You only know how to bully me, but I know that you are not happy. You are as lonely as I am, aren’t you?”
He was shocked because her words seemed to hold his heart tightly, stopping it from beating.
He looked at her lifeless face that soon turned changed as she burst into laughter. This woman seemed to love to laugh. She laughed even after she cried, as if nothing could beat her down.
“Aren you tired?” Shang Jinshen suddenly asked in return. He wanted to know if she too felt tired.
Was she tired? She was confused for a while. She nodded first and then shook her head. Staring at him, she said seriously, “The more life wants to beat me down and wants to see me cry, the more I want to prove them wrong and smile with my chin up!”
The more life wanted her to cry, the more she wanted to smile with her chin up? He repeated her words as they hit him deeply. So, did she pull through with that mindset every time she was bullied?
Suddenly, there was a hint of pity in his heart. Shang Jinshen held the little wild cat with one hand and kissed her lips. It tasted of alcohol…
She opened her big eyes wide and let him kiss her. She also naughtily stuck out her little tongue to lick his mouth, as if she was particularly fond of the clear fragrance of wine in his mouth.
Shang Jinshen’s gaze deepened when he noticed her actions. Their lips and tongue were entangled with each other as he tried to grab hold of her sweetness.
His big hand slid across her neck, causing a tremor. Her body softened slightly, and her crystal-clear eyes stared at him unblinkingly. He was a little confused by her gaze. He didn’t even dare to look into her pure eyes that were full of trust, so he reached out to cover her eyes.
The little wild cat refused to give in. She reached out to grab his hand, trying to see him clearly. She wanted to see who was hugging her, kissing her… loving her.
However, the man was not giving her what she wanted. They were entangled with one another. After a while, her clothes fell to the ground.
